Definitions
- This invention relates to an improvement in a process for producing an aromatic hydroxy compound.
- a process which first went into commercial operation comprises alkali fusion of aromatic sulfonic acid salts. Since this process is suitable for production in a small-scale apparatus, it is still utilized for the production of those aromatic hydroxy compounds whose demand is not so large.
- the alkali fusion is a reaction of a solid involving phase change from a liquid--a mud--a highly viscous mass--a powder, and during the reaction, stirring of the reaction mixture is extremely difficult.
- the present inventors have long been engaged in a study of adapting solid-phase reactions to liquid-phase reactions, and made good achievements in the adaptation of the Kolbe-Schmitt reaction to a reaction in suspension. Further investigations into improvement of the alkali fusion of aromatic sulfonic acid salts have led to the present invention.
- a process for producing an aromatic hydroxy compound which comprises reacting an alkali metal salt of an aromatic sulfonic acid with an alkali metal hydroxide in a reaction medium which is an aliphatic, alicyclic or aromatic hydrocarbon, or an aromatic ether, or a mixture of these.
- alkali metal salt of aromatic sulfonic acid used in this invention examples include alkali metal salts, such as sodium or potassium salts, of compounds having an aromatic ring, such as benzene, naphthalene, anthracene, phenanthrene, diphenyl, triphenyl, diphenylalkanes, triphenylalkanes, aromatic ring-like compounds fused with hetero rings such as a quinoline ring, and partially hydrogenated products of the foregoing compounds, having one or a plurality of sulfonic acid groups on the aromatic ring.
- These alkali metal salts of aromatic sulfonic acids may have one or a plurality of substituents which do not affect the reaction, such as an alkyl group, an amino group or a carboxyl group, on the ring or linking chains.
- alkali metal salts of aromatic sulfonic acids can be obtained in a customary manner by sulfonating the above-exemplified compounds having an aromatic ring with sulfuric acid or fuming sulfuric acid, and converting the sulfonated compounds to alkali metal salts.
- Sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide are preferred as the alkali metal hydroxide.
- 2 to 10 moles, preferably 2 to 7 moles, of the alkali metal hydroxide is used per sulfonic acid group.
- Suitable reaction media are aliphatic, alicyclic or aromatic hydrocarbons or aromatic ethers, include light oil, kerosene, lubricant oils, white oil (liquid paraffin), alkylbenzenes, diaryls, complete or partial hydrogenation products of diaryls, diarylalkanes, complete or partial hydrogenation products of diarylalkanes, triaryls, complete or partial hydrogenation products of triaryls, triarylalkanes, complete or partial hydrogenation products of triarylalkanes, diphenyl ether, ditolyl ether, and mixtures of two of the foregoing compounds with each other. They have a boiling point in the range of 200° to 500° C., particularly 250° to 450° C.
- the alkali metal salt of aromatic sulfonic acid and the alkali metal hydroxide are dispersed in the reaction medium and reacted.
- the amount of the reaction medium used is 0.1 to 50 parts by weight, preferably 0.5 to 20 parts by weight, per part by weight of the alkali metal salt of an aromatic sulfonic acid.
- the reaction temperature is 200° to 500° C., preferably 250 to 450 C.
- the reaction time or the residence time is about 0.1 to about 10 hours.
- the reaction is carried out in an atmosphere of an inert gas such as nitrogen. It may be carried out either under atmospheric pressure or elevated pressures.
- the reaction mixture can be dehydrated and reacted in a dispersed state. Hence, it can be easily dehydrated, and a uniform reaction mixture can be obtained. Consequently, the following marked improvements can be achieved by the present invention.
- the dehydration and reaction can be carried out continuously. Since the process can be operated while the reaction mixture is in a uniformly dispersed state, accurate temperature control and transportation become easy. Furthermore, mass production is easy because the process can be carried out completely continuously.
- reaction mixture can be easily stirred, the apparatus can be simplified, and the power required for stirring can be markedly reduced.
- reaction mixture can be easily maintained flowable, it is not necessary to perform the reaction under high pressures in the presence of a large amount of water.
- the process of this invention is industrially excellent since it can provide large quantities of the desired products of high quality at low costs.
- the process of this invention can be carried out either batchwise or continuously.
- the accompanying drawing is a diagram showing an embodiment of this invention by a continuous method.
- the alkali fusion reaction and the work-up can be carried out as follows:
- An aqueous solution of an alkali metal hydroxide (A) and an aromatic sulfonic acid alkali metal salt (B) are mixed with stirring in a mixing tank 1, and in a dispersing tank 2, a reaction medium C is added to disperse A and B.
